going to begin finishing my cage and looking for insight.. I have an idea of how I want to finish it but looking for opinions as well...

Unless they are clean your garage then you can STFU :flipoff2:

Fire suit is on "this isnt JU now is it?"

it's probably an illusion but it looks like the whole thing is crooked ( down in the rear and to the passenger side)


Here are some drawings of what I am working on... I have some of it done, just need the cross bracing and a few gussets to finish. Probably no more help than a little creative inspiration.

I like it, (looking at the 1st drawing) what about adding a tube starting a little forward from the center of the rear wheel well opening and going up and tie into the top bar. So if it rolled over somthing couldn't fit thru that space and get to you as easy. (looking at the last picture taken)

sorry if that makes no sense, this pos doesn't have paint to show you..

those drawing looks great! simple yet triangles everywhere.


what program are you using to do that design?
fairly easy?

Super simple to use, but I wouldn't use it for getting exact tube measurements or angles because it isn't calibrated to tubing demensions (sp?) it did however give me a good reference for how things would fit... ie: seats, cell and most importantly the ice chest.

I'm using Google Sketchit Pro, there is a free version that works just as well but lacks a few neat features.
